I'm not very technically oriented so I'll communicate this the best I can.

Here's the notes I play:

F-G-G#-Bb-C-D-Eb-F

I would guess this is some kind of Fm or Cm scale. For a more funky and bluesey and less spacey feel I riff in F blues pentatonic. That would be excluding the G and D. I find this works well over the Fm and Cm portion. You can even go to C blues pentatonic over the Cm chord as the difference between the C and F Blues scales is the C scale has the G and the F has the G#.

They all look like this side by side:

F-G-G#-Bb-C-D-Eb-F--------- the original minor scale

F---G#-Bb-C---Eb-F--------- F blues pentatonic

----------C---Eb-F-G-Bb-C-- C blues pentatonic

Over the "poised for..." portion you have to play around a bit to get the feel but the minor scales are a better fit than the pentatonic.

I'm sure others approach this differently, but this is how I look at it.
